League of Legends 25.19 champion nerfs

Corki

Corki is becoming a little stale in pro play so Riot is nerfing him to open up the bot lane metagame for Worlds.

Q – Phosphorus Bomb:

Damage: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+130% AD) -> 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 (+ 125% AD)

Pantheon

Pantheon has been dominating pro play as a jungler and Riot doesn’t like his low-skill ganking pattern so are nerfing him heavily.

Q – Comet Spear:

Monster Modifier: 0.9x -> 0.75x

W – Shield Vault:

Minion/Monster damage cap: 200 -> 120

Poppy

Poppy is overall a little too strong in all three of her roles but particularly jungle, so Riot is nerfing her to open the meta.

Q – Hammer Shock:

Max Health damage cap to minions/monsters: 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 / 195 -> 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170

R – Keeper’s Verdict:

Cooldown on interrupted channel: 15 -> 30

Sivir

Sivir is a little OP in regular play and somewhat dominates the pro play sphere. Riot wants Sivir to have more competition.

Q – Boomerang Blade:

Initial Damage: 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+ 100% bonus AD) -> 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+ 85% bonus AD)

League of Legends 25.19 item changes

Redemption

Redemption is a regular first item for tank supports in pro play. Riot wants other items like Locket and Knight’s Vow to compete.

Heal: 200-400 (based on target level) -> 150-350 (based on target level)

Celestial Opposition

Riot is fixing a long-standing issue with Celestial Opposition that gave it very weird optimizations. Players could send a clone forward and it would result in a nearly guaranteed slow-bomb on a short cooldown.

Item will no longer apply the AoE slow if the user is dead

League of Legends 25.19 Runes changes

Unsealed Spellbook

Unsealed Spellbook’s recent buff took it from being entirely forgotten to the only keystone anyone not named Neeko even uses in pro play but Riot wants it to remain viable.

Base Recharge Cooldown: 4 minutes -> 4.5 minutes

Minimum Recharge Cooldown: 1.5 minutes -> 2 minutes
